Turquoise Dawn

Description

Seventh in an ever-growing series of dragons whose colors are based on precious and semi-precious stones.

Turquoise is another one of my favorite stones - anything from an almost yellowy-greeny-blue to that deep azure-turquoise blue: I wanted to get a bunch of different tones of turquoise into this picture.

I wasn't sure that the gold linework would work originally, but I thought I'd try it to see what would happen. I ended up being quite pleased with the effect. I usually see silver and turquoise jewelry, but I think the gold really sets off the blues and greens as well. :D

Prismacolor pencil, gold paint pen, and Photoshop tweaking.

Original art: sold.

Prints:
8x10 inches for $15
11x14 inches for $30
16x20 inches for $50




More Stone Dragons, both line designs and full-color, may be seen in the Stone Dragon Gallery Folder.

Hi Rachel!  I just wanted to let you know that I've featured your work in a post called December Birthstone Dragons by Various Artists on my dragon artwork blog (with proper attribution and links back, of course).  You can find me at Writing Dragons, and this feature here
 
I love this piece and all of your art -- in fact, I realized I featured you once before, back in 2016 before I started doing these notifications -- sorry for the late note!  That feature is here.  Thank you for your lovely dragons, keep up the amazing work!
